Syrians charge roughly $150 tax for diesel vehicles (as diesel is subsided and very cheap - about 6p per litre so you will soon get it back). We were also able to export 100 litres of diesel in cans on the way back to Turkey without any problems (Syrians didn't mind at all and Turkey Army check point soldiers let us through after steeling few packs of cigaretes we left conviniently on the dash...)
There is no tax for petrol vehicles though, although they will probably ask you for a present ($10 in our case). Well worth the excelent teas and fun we experienced on the check point.
We crosed to Syria by YAylagadi (Tur), and back to Turkey via Al Qamichli/Nusayibin.
